<p>2 days!!!</p>
<p>TWO DAYSSSSS!!! </p>
<p>Holy MOLY! I can’t believe it…X___X;;</p>
<p>2 DAYS!! AHH lol. Yunie, let’s just fast-forward to when we’re at Cal and hanging out discussing psychological concepts and theories with sakurax over coffee, yes? lol.</p>
<p>@ emil…ugg…tell me about it. I’ve been watching U of O videos and crap for the last three hours trying to convince myself its just as awesome as Cal, trying to somehow make me super excited and stuff, reminding myself that i simply over romanticized Cal …not quite there yet 
</p>
<p>Thing is, I’ll prolly not get into Cal anyway. It’s weird cause when I got the scholarship it was bittersweet. I was like, dammit UO you’re making it really hard to say no. As an OOS International you RARELY get scholarships, the UC’s offer none and with a 50K per year price tag…you kinda need them. Oregon is down at 25K (16K tuition only) which is half the price. Assuming I spend another 2-3 years in college that’s 75 THOUSAND dollars (the scholarship is renewable)! The way I put it I had Cal on one hand and UO + a trip around the world on the other. Do I really have a choice? My heart is telling me one thing, but my mind is saying I’d be a moron to say no. </p>
<p>Either way, I’ll prolly get rejected from Cal which will hopefully make Oregon seem sweeter :)…now, back to watching UO fan vids…</p>
<p>btw…sorry for threadjacking :(</p>
<p>don’t sell yourself short just yet :O</p>
<p>One of my co-workers is such a saint. She switched shifts with me on Friday so that I can be home when (or close to when) admission decisions are available. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I have the next two days off and NOTHING to do. I’m not much of a smoker, but I might call around and try to get my hands on a little bit to help ease my anxiety some for the next two days, as well as to help me sleep on Thursday night. I’m FREAKING. OUT.</p>
<p>Nicollo!!! You cannot put a pricetag on Cal! Congrats on Oregon but let’s be real here, Oregon Ducks? kekeke…j/k Go to Cal with me!</p>
<p>@ nicolles: I totally understand. Money talks :p. I’m actually waiting to see if I get a 10k scholarship from Davis. My financial aid is still pending even though I was accepted 3 weeks ago…I think it’s a good sign, but we’ll see. If I get the scholarship…I’d definitely have to consider being an Aggie. However, Cal has been my dream school since I was little, and it would be near impossible for me to turn it down.</p>
<p>As for U of O, it’s a great school! Plus it’s in the Pac 10. I was trying to convince myself the other day that (since I had…at the time…been rejected from UCLA) I was going to Davis. I couldn’t assume that I was going to get into Cal, so I was preparing for Davis by watching youtube vids as well lol. </p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t see why you wouldn’t get into Cal. I think I remember you saying that your Dad went there, and you have a 4.0. I mean…I know that you’re OOS, and it’s soooo hard to get in…but COME ON CAL! lol nicolles is obviously brilliant! Do you think you’ll appeal if you aren’t admitted? I really think you’re one of the strongest applicants I’ve ever seen, and I believe that you should definitely be admitted. </p>
<p>I do know, though, that 25k per year is SOO much money, and I would understand and fully respect your decision either way. Best of luck!</p>
<p>emil, wow…good memory! You’re so sweet! I wish you were on the admissions committee! hehe…but yeah, I’m not into appealing. If I don’t get in it’s a sign. I’m fine with that.And who knows, if it’s good news, the excitement might be so great I might decide to screw the world trip and go to SF. I don’t know. </p>
<p>You’ll get in for sure though! After the whole stupid UCLA mixup there’s no way you’d be rejected from Cal. I mean, they actually READ the apps…hehe…</p>
<p>San Francisco is simply awesome. I live 5 mins from the city :). haha I like how you mentioned that you wish I was on the admissions committee…Ironically, I plan on working (hopefully) in admissions as an undergrad wherever I’m admitted. I legitimately want to know the process of how these things work. Having gone through the application + ridiculous wait period myself, I want to figure out what goes on behind the scenes. I wouldn’t release confidential info or anything, but I do want to know what the real deal is.</p>
<p>haha yeah the UCLA mix-up was weird… I mean it seems sketchy to me. Would they have overlooked my prereq if I had a 4.0? Who knows? lol. I’m really glad that I’m in, but it’s odd that I had to call 3 times to get things sorted out. To me, it’s even more odd that somebody as deserving as you would not get in! It seriously perplexes me.</p>
<p>Oh, and definitely let me know if you get into Cal! I’m skyping my best friend on Friday and taping myself as I check my admissions decision. It should be pretty funny whether it’s good or bad news haha. </p>
<p>Anyway, let’s hope that Cal DOES read the apps ;p and that they’re not as stubborn when evaluating OOS-ers!</p>
<p>One of my best friends will be attending U of O in the fall… I love her. I plan to visit often :).
2 days! Tomorrow marks my last day at my CCC campus. I will most likely cry tears of joy. I am really proud of myself for finishing there in only one and a half years. Many doubted me, heck I even doubted myself. I’ve done it though and even if I don’t get into CAL I still have accomplished a lot and have so much to be proud of!</p>
<p>Victoria!! Congratulations! That’s awesome. Seriously, I can’t believe you’re done…esp when I have another 5 weeks lol. It took me 2.5 years, but I skipped a grade…I still don’t even get it :p. Anyway, that’s awesome that you’re done, and again congrats on getting through CCC!! </p>
<p>It’s Bear time in the fall for us…I hope! :)</p>
<p>I hope so! Ya I failed out my first attempt at college in MT… my first semester at my CC I decided to take 16 units and my friends who were in school were like I really think that’s going to be too much for you… and than I got a 3.8 (my one B was a B++++) 9 summer units 20 fall and 20 spring… totally worth it. My main push was the closing of spring admits just about everywhere… now I see it as more of just a blessing…</p>
<p>Yeah, great call going through with the heavy load and skipping a year. I’m sure it’s totally worth it! lol I took 9 units every semester until fall 09 where I took 18 :p. Ironically, I had my best semester last fall. </p>
<p>Good luck for Berkeley!</p>
<p>two days baby cakes :)</p>
<p>Hahaha Emil! I wishhhhhh! (:! She will call me a couple minutes ahead of when admission decisions are posted to finally tell meeee, she promised that much! I’m either going to be roomies with her (yay!) or staying here in SoCal. Either way, now, after much thought, I’m okay with not getting in! I’m really proud of myself!</p>
<p>Yeah, you should be! You have great stats. haha your cousin has really helped me quite a bit. From general questions, to appeal strategies, to anything lol. I’ll be staying up here near SF as always, or going to SoCal lol. Sort of the opposite of your situation, but with the same possibilities. :)</p>
<p>Go Psych majors! Btw, are you planning on joining APU or psy chi at UCB? I’m in APU already lol but that’s only because I went to visit one day and the current psych majors allowed me to join in advance :p.</p>
<p>2 daaaaaays. Yes!</p>
<p>You probably saw my cousin without realizing it! (:! I haven’t done anything in respects to Cal, just because if I don’t get in, it would hurt…more so. But gosh am I excited! Either way, I know I’ll win because they’re great schools and will give me so many experiences! </p>
<p>If I do get in next fall, she told me I could work in Admissions! Granted I’d have to pass the interview but she’s already putting in a good word! Even though I might not be able to know what she does, she’s not stapling papers because she does have a bunch of experience from working at admissions in that private university, it’ll still be exciting! I’m glad she has been helping you, she’s just great!<3 Thank you for your words! Same goes for you! Two dayssss!</p>
<p>2 days!!! :D:D:D:D</p>
